Aiyama 2026 Single Rice Variety Series — Spring Release

From our Single Rice Variety Series, this spring brings Aiyama — a variety as rare in cultivation as it is generous in the glass. “Ai” meaning Love, “Yama” meaning Mountain — a name that feels entirely fitting for a sake that arrives just as the long-awaited spring begins to stir.
Rich and creamy, with a gentle sweetness and a floral elegance evocative of sakura blossoms, ZAKU Aiyama 2026 captures the quiet beauty of the season with rare luminosity.
We invite you to savour this expression as a fitting companion to the days of spring. Production, as always with this series, is modest by nature — we hope you will find a bottle among your own.
This year’s Rice Series traces a journey through the seasons: Ise Nishiki in April, Omachi in June, and Kami no Ho in August — each a reflection of the natural cycle as it turns through our region of Mie.
We look forward to sharing each chapter with you.
